Robinson was born at Otley in May 1828. He was a professional cricketer and was associated with a number of club sides in the North of England.[1] He first appeared in first-class cricket in 1860 for an England Next XIV against an England First XI at Lord's. In 1861 and 1862, he made four further first-class appearances for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Oxford University, Sussex, Hampshire and Middlesex.[2] As a batsman, Robinson scored 67 runs in his five first-class matches, with a highest score of 21.[3] As a bowler he took 13 wickets at a good average of 8.58, with best figures of 4 for 20.[4] A benefit match was held between Otley and a United All-England Eleven for Robinson and fellow Otley cricketer William Swain in 1863, with the Otley side featuring Tom Emmett.[5]
In the same year cricket took Robinson to the South West England, where he was employed as a cricket coach at Sherborne School in 1863.[6] Besides a career as a professional player, Robinson also stood as an umpire in four first-class matches from 1861 to 1874.[7] Robinson died in 1906 at Wharfedale, Yorkshire.
